A bad example of a noble

Xanthos was born as part of the Casanova family in Obsculithe. While they were known for their charisma and knowledge, Xanthos didn’t have these traits, which made their family consider them a mistake. Despite this, they were still treated well by most of the family, making them go through everything a noble kid has to go through. They went to school like everyone else, but they were only really interested in history & art, which was considered fine, but...

Even if they were being taught several times how to act like a noble, nothing seemed to really stick, making their family feel hopeless about them. Thus, Xanthos was left behind by most of their family, forcing them to fend for themselves. By that point, they knew they had to actually learn what they have to learn. They spent many of their years alone, observing how other people act, and proceeded to copy them.

By the time they were a lot older, Xanthos was very dramatic and knowledgeable about the things they were passionate about, but unfortunately they were still quite simple-minded.

You know, maybe being a hero is too overrated

Observing all the different people they came across made Xanthos realize that they really don’t want to understand how love works at all. They believed that affection is too complicated, especially since they’ve never really had any affection for anyone since they were always seen as a mistake.

Xanthos had never thought about becoming a villain until he learned of the existence of Procyon Greyford through directly meeting him when he was looking for people to help him renovate his mansion. Not really knowing what to do at that point, as they’re not bright enough to get a proper job, Xanthos accepted to help the prince.

Idolizing the Greyfords

As they spent more time with him, though, they saw how villainous Procyon really was and it was at that moment they knew: heroes were too plain for them. Since then, they followed Procyon everywhere he went and tried their best to act like him. Their passion & dedication allowed them to stay closer to their idol, although he didn’t see them as a right-hand at all, but rather a butler who is very loyal to him.

With Procyon’s hatred for his younger brother, Sirius, came lots of Xanthos’ antics in taking him down. While these antics ended up successfully bringing Sirius down to his lowest point, Xanthos also grew more appreciative of…his Overdrive. They might be dumb, but they were able to connect the dots between Sirius’ Overdrive & the times when the two brothers reunited. Since then, Xanthos has been obsessed with the interaction between the two, not only because of the simplicity of it, but also because of the sheer amount of negative emotions both brothers have towards each other. Some might say they are too obsessed with it...

• Uraeus is the upright form of an Egyptian cobra. While they're not any sort of royalty or deity, it's still a nice alias to have.
• They find interactions interesting to observe, but will not dig deep as to why certain relationships are the way they are. Xanthos enjoys observing relationships with obvious connotations, like the one between Procyon & Sirius. In fact, they will say it's their favorite dynamic ever.
• Xanthos has decent cooking skills and will make tacos for you if you give them a good evil laughter.
• They were never a good student at school. In fact, they were only good at history & art to some extent.
• The wings on their back is only for shows, they cannot actually fly with them.
